It sounds like mine is finally moving too. I ordered in Jan but know the order wasn't actually confirmed with BMW until early Feb. Since then I've received a weekly email from my company car supplier simply indicating that the order is in the dealership pipeline. This week's email finally had a change indicating that it's built and the projected delivery date to me was reconfirmed as 7 Oct.

Hi all, I was at my dealer yesterday (Sytner Sunningdale) picking up my loaner (116d sport). A 61 Reg X3 out front, mineral silver, getting ready for pickup today .

Mine has now moved to status 1200, hopefully in production in the next week or two.

My dealer has now sold their X3, they don't have one for test drives, they have to ring round and borrow one from another dealer.

Good news from my dealer this morning. I did my weekly check of the status of my car to see if it was on schedule for week 36 build and to my great surprise was informed that the status was left plant

Can anyone tell me the first half of the VIN number as I think they have only given me the relevant numbers for my car? I would love to see if I can track it on the WW site...

Likewise - I asked for the vin and was sent a "chassis number" i.e. shorter than a vin or part of a vin ?

I have the last 7 digits of the vin, which I assume is the 'chassis' number of the car.

I have done a bit of reaserch and think the front bit might be something like WBAWY*****-------, but not sure what should be where the asterisks are and the dashes represent the chassis number part. I have called my dealer back for the full number but he has not got back to me yet.

The VIN is like WBAWY31040L123456

I too asked for the VIN and got only the chassis suffix. Then I realised the full VIN is made up of the prefix + suffix. The prefix I have is WBAWY32070 try that with your chassis number immediately following (no *******

Only the chassis number is unique (what any parts supplier will require), the prefix is plant, country, model etc.

Also tried today and no luck either, however, I did see my 1st F25 M-Sport today in Warwick, white but could not see the wheel type or other spec details.

Sounds like a raft of UK orders coming through finally. Good luck to all. It's been a huge wait but hopefully you'll all think it was worth it

I ordered my X3 35D M Sport fully loaded on the 30th August, expected December/Jan.
Thats 4 months away. Not bothered as I have a forward valuation on my PX.

It's probably getting overloaded with requests from lots of eager XBimmer members trying to track their X3s 10 times a day

Only problem I had with it was that it didn't work with Chrome (IE is OK)
